Pontifical College Josephinum has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 83%. In-state tuition is $27,829 per year. The graduation rate is 27%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while freshman retention is a perfect 100%, the 27% graduation rate is a serious red flag that demands explanation before committing. This is a highly specialized seminary institution with just 45 undergraduates, making it relevant only for Catholic men pursuing priestly formation — not a typical college path. Worth considering if that specific vocation is your goal, but families should ask hard questions about why so few students ultimately finish.
